Netflix to adapt "A Series of Unfortunate Events" as a TV Series
 
Quote:
After bursting onto the original series scene with premium cable-caliber adult fare such as House of Cards and Orange Is The New Black, Netflix is entering a new area: live-action family entertainment. On the heels of picking up AwesomenessTV’s live-action comedy Richie Rich, the streaming company has acquired rights to the best-selling series of books A Series Of Unfortunate Events by Lemony Snicket, with plans to adapt them as a live-action series. Search is underway for a director to help re-create Snicket’s visual world on TV. Netflix is producing the project, which is being fast-tracked, with Paramount Television. Paramount was behind the 2004 movie starring Jim Carrey, which grossed $209 million worldwide.
:amazed:

the books ended kinda crappily, but still :amazed:

I was sort-of put out by the fact they only made one movie. Could be quite good I suppose.

Never read the books but the movie was weird.

The movie was a bit crap in comparison to the books, which is probably why they didn't make another

I think a 2 series 13 eps each would work really well

this sounds promising tbh.

Omfg yes please!

I've read one book, and it was weird & depressing. Don't think I will watch a TV series on it either.

yeah it was but it had some great moments, Jim Carrey was a great choice to play the Count though.

This new tv series adaptation sounds promising.

By the way, did anyone else suspect that the Lemony Snicket's assistant was actually the guy who wrote the books AKA Lemony himself?

A TV adaptation sounds good. Netflix can be trusted with something like this too so it could turn out great!

I loooovve it. Netflix has proven it can put out great, and addictive, shows and I think they would do an excellent job on this. Can't wait to watch!!
